Alex Smith is a solid QB, sorry haters. Bucs win 5th game in a row.
Despite the common thought here that Alex Smith held down the team Sunday, Smith's overall production to the team yesterday graded out very positive in 3 rankings:
Smith: QBR 94.1, QB rating 99, PFF 71.9 Winston: QBR 83.6, QB rating 97, PFF 50.7 ![]() https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro...-for-bucs-win/ "Smith gained positive expected points (EPA) on 77 percent of his plays on Sunday, the second-highest rate for a QB in a game this season (Dak Prescott, 83 percent versus Chicago in Week 3). Put simply, more than three-fourths of his plays contributed to the team’s scoring margin, given the context and situation." - http://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/p...s-excels-again This is why we should use our brains instead of repeating the garbage fed to us by Mellinger and Teicher. If Smith only had 34 plays yesterday to do something with the ball and earns both a rushing and passing TD, a FG, to 1 INT (first red zone interception since 2013) and completes an outstanding 77% of passes ... we should probably focus on the real problem yesterday: The Defense. Who didn't show up and allowed Winston/Martin to hold the ball for 35 minutes, earn 24 first downs, and convert 68% of 3rd downs (league average is 40%). Against the Bucs... Alex Smith: 1 INT, 99 QB rating Philip Rivers: 2 INTs, 80 QB rating Russell Wilson: 2 INTs, 39 QB rating Drew Brees: 3 INTs, 49 QB rating Last edited by TigeRRUppeRRcut; 12-11-2016 at 09:10 PM.. |

Like I mentioned before, my biggest frustration with Alex Smith is that we know he CAN.... but most of the time he just WON'T.

My opinion of Alex will not change. I want him gone at the end of the year but I can at least give him props for getting it done on the road and undermanned. He made many throws under pressure and deserves a lot of credit for pulling out the win.
But he's played terrible in far to many games to have him back next season in my mind. We have won 8 games and not many are because he played good football. That is not good enough going forward. If we win the SB they can hand him a blank check and play him till he's 45 for all I care.

You could see him flinch on a few open throws early in the game. It's not like he throws vertical late in 4th quarters. It's still pretty conservative football. If he played every quarter like it was the 4th, he'd actually be a good qb. |

Some of you guys crack me up.
You'd rather Alex throws for 300+ yds and 3+ TDs and we lose than he has bad stats and we win... Maybe you guys don't realize the object of the game is to win not get a lot of FF pts. |

If only teams would play prevent defense the entire game....then Smith could look decent.

So long as our team isn't getting buried (again a product of good defensive play)... methodical movement of the football up the field does many things like resting your defense and tiring out your opponents' LB and secondary (as they have to cover far more field than any receiver or tight end). The idiots on here undervalue the concept of ball protection. An effective run game is going to produce less turnovers than any equal # of pass plays. A ball thrown in the air has so many factors that come into play...I'm tired of people bitching about the WCO and that when productive, we are primarily a run first team. 2015 we were near close to running the ball on half of plays and that's when we were the most efficient as scoring (ranked 6th in the league in points per drive)... |

After 58 minutes of being Cassel-lite, Alex did a good job making some key throws.
Good for him. Hopefully it boosts his confidence down the stretch, because if he plays like he did the first 58 KC will miss out on the post-season.
